I'm a big fan of Point & Click Adventure Games and during my downtime over the Festive Period I wanted to try and get through as many of these as I could. I realise giving this a 'No' can come across as a little harsh but I want to comment on why it is I felt this wasn't deserving of a recommendation from me.

The Character Swapping Mechanic: This was done far far better in the Blackwell Series of Games by Wadjet. There's something unique here in that you can stop your partner following you but honestly I never actually needed this, it would be far better to have just left that alone rather than making it a feature and then rendering it immediately redundant to the gameplay mechanic.
Inventory Sharing: Each character has their own inventory and scrolling it takes time and effort so I found it easier to just dump crap on one of the characters that I later discovered in my playthrough I was never gonna need (See: Wooden Spoon).
The Art Style: This is where i'm gonna be harsh. I disliked the art style. It felt like it was trying to evoke retro graphics of Broken Sword too much whereas I would've preferred a crisper and more polished look for something beyond Broken Sword 1/2.
The Sound: Actually really good, I genuinely enjoyed some of the background tracks, I especially liked the one on the city streets although that area felt small and could've been fleshed out a little more.
The Story: What even was that? We went from Indiana Jones to Aliens and it felt like there was little inbetween to justify the ass-pull of aliens invading. That was stupid. It ruined my enjoyment. Also the character of Pandora especially deserves special mention for Line Delivery from the VA's. She was ESPECIALLY wooden, just bad... Not a good game.
